The two most popular web browsers on the market are
Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Communicator/Navigator.
GCR Online installs Internet Explorer on all new Internet
accounts. Your Internet Explorer software
comes with a web browser for web viewing/surfing, a mail
client for sending and receiving e-mail, and a newsgroup
browser, capable of downloading, posting, and viewing
newsgroups. The latest version of Internet
Explorer also comes with web editing/publishing software
for the development/construction of web sites.

Both browsers are capable of doing such tasks.
In our opinion, both are very high quality software
products yet the customer may have a preference of his/her
own.
